    • Activities of individuals and the movements/usage of products are monitored in an operating room during a surgical procedure by disposing in the operating room a first transceiver operating in a long wavelength mode in which 99.99% or more of radiated energy is in the form of a magnetic field, for example 131 KHz. A distinguishable radio frequency-enabled identification tag is associated with each of a plurality of persons assigned to the surgical procedure, including for example, doctors, nurses, and/or the patient, and optionally with products to be monitored. A signal is transmitted from the first transceiver and responses from the identification tags are monitored. A log is created from the monitored responses indicative activities of each of the persons in the operating room or of movements of tagged products.

    • A cart has at least three wheels. It has one or more loop antennas, and a radio transceiver connected with the antennas. The antennas and transceiver operate at a frequency lower than 1 megahertz. The loop antennas are each at least 0.2 square meters in area. The cart is moved to an area such as a room, and the transceiver communicates with various RF tags in the room. Because of the antenna configuration, the portion of spectrum employed, and the power levels used, the cart is able to communicate with most if not all of the RF tags in the room. The cart can then be moved to another area such as another room, and the process repeated. In this way an inventory of tags can be made without expensive permanently installed infrastructure. The system is robust against interferers such as large metal objects and intervening objects.

    • Changes in polarized light incident on a detection zone within a separation matrix are used to detect optically active molecules within the separation matrix. The separation and detection of optically active molecules within the detection zone is done by loading a sample containing optically active molecules onto a separation matrix; applying a motive force to cause the sample to migrate though the separation matrix and to separate into a plurality of subgroups of optically active molecules; directing an incident beam of polarized radiation to the detection zone; processing the collected exiting beam with an optical component which discriminates between radiation having the same polarization as the incident beam and radiation having a different polarization from the incident beam; and measuring the intensity of the processed exiting beam. A difference between the intensity of the processed exiting beam and a standard intensity obtained for the separation matrix in the absence of sample is indicative of the presence of an optically active molecule in the detection zone. Alternatively, an incident beam of alternately left and right circularly polarized radiation, in which case differences in the intensity of left and right circularly polarized radiation indicate the present of optically acid species within the detection zone.

    • Reliable and cost effective testing for mutations in the RB1 gene can be accomplished by quantitatively amplifying exons of the sample RB1 gene using primers complementary to intron regions flanking each exon; and then determining the lengths and/or quantities of the amplification products for each exon and comparing that length or quantity to the length or quantity of amplification products obtained when a wild-type RB1 gene is amplified using the same primers. Differences in length between an amplified sample exon and the corresponding amplified wild-type exon reflect the occurrence of an insertion or deletion mutation in the sample RB1 gene. Differences in quantity reflect the complete absence of an exon, or heterozygosity for a mutant exon. Next, the nucleic acid sequence of each exon found to contain an insertion or deletion mutation is determined, or of all exons in the event no insertion or deletion mutations are identified. Preferably, the amplification of the exons is multiplexed so that more than one exon is amplified in a single vessel using sets of primers which provide gene fragments of distinctive lengths when used to amplify a normal RB1 gene.
    • 可以通过使用与每个外显子侧翼的内含子区域互补的引物定量扩增样本RB1基因的外显子来实现RB1基因突变的可靠和成本有效的测试。 然后确定每个外显子的扩增产物的长度和/或数量,并将该长度或数量与使用相同引物扩增野生型RB1基因时获得的扩增产物的长度或数量进行比较。 扩增样本外显子与相应的扩增野生型外显子之间的长度差异反映了样本RB1基因中插入或缺失突变的发生。 量的差异反映了突变外显子完全不存在外显子或杂合性。 接下来,确定发现含有插入或缺失突变的每个外显子的核酸序列,或者在没有鉴定插入或缺失突变的情况下所有外显子的核酸序列。 优选地,外显子的扩增被多重化,使得在用于扩增正常RB1基因时提供具有特异长度的基因片段的引物组在单个容器中扩增多于一个外显子。

    • A hierarchy of at least two assay techniques is utilized in testing for disease-associated mutations. The first assay in the hierarchy is selected to provide a highly specific test for the existence of the disease-associated mutation, although the accuracy of the test need not be high. The final assay in the hierarchy is selected to provide a highly accurate and highly specific test for the existence of the disease associated mutation. Intermediate tests of progressively greater accuracy may also be included in the hierarchy. Once the hierarchy has been selected for a given mutation-associated disease, a patient sample is analyzed the patient sample using the first, lowest accuracy assay in the hierarchy. If the result of the first assay is negative for the presence of a disease-associated mutation, then the next assay in the hierarchy is performed. This process is repeated until the final assay has been performed on all samples which gave negative results when tested by all less-accurate assays in the hierarchy. The test may be used for diagnosis and targeted screening for p53 mutations and mutations in the RB1 gene.
    • 使用至少两种测定技术的层次来测试疾病相关突变。 选择层次结构中的第一个测定法为疾病相关突变的存在提供高度特异性的测试,尽管测试的准确性不需要很高。 选择层次结构中的最终测定法为疾病相关突变的存在提供高度准确和高度特异性的检验。 渐进更高精度的中间测试也可能包含在层次结构中。 一旦为给定的突变相关疾病选择了层次结构,则使用层次结构中的第一种最低精度的分析方法对患者样本进行分析。 如果第一次测定的结果对于存在疾病相关突变是阴性的,则进行层次结构中的下一个测定。 重复此过程,直到对所有样品进行最终测定,当通过层次结构中的所有较不准确的测定进行测试时,会产生阴性结果。 该检测可用于诊断和靶向筛选p53突变和RB1基因突变。

    • The invention comprises a low power broadcast system that is applicable especially to the so-called "electronic shelf" for retail stores, wherein the shelf edge carries price displaying modules that can be addressed and controlled from a central computer operated station. The system also permits the modules to broadcast back to the central station to confirm safe receipt of data and to give information as to stock levels, etc. A broadcast system avoids the need for wiring so that location changes are facilitated. To overcome the extremely noisy environment and to conserve power consumption, and hence battery life, the system employs a low frequency (132 kHz) reference carrier transmitted by the base station in discrete segmented packages, each of which frames a base data word transmitted by the base station and a corresponding module data word transmitted by the module a fixed period after the end of the base word; the base receiver than has precise time information for receipt of the module word and can "look" for it among the noise. The carrier received by the module is divided and the lower frequency used to demodulate the information-carrying transmission from the base station of the same frequency, avoiding the need for a phase locked loop detector; this lower frequency is also used for the module transmission. The module employs an air-cored loop antenna coil for the lower frequency and a ferrite-cored loop antenna for the higher reference frequency, while the store antenna is segmented for selection of the group of modules to be addressed; the antenna contacts the metal shelving to provide electromagnetic coupling thereto. Each module contains a microprocessor which controls the operation. Each module has "concealed" buttons which can be enabled and used to insert data to be transmitted therefrom. A charging circuit can be used as the power source employing the received RF carrier energy.
